It’s my first SOOC Saturday over at Melody’s Slurping Life. I’ve always wanted to participate but it’s tough when you shoot in RAW since RAW files have no in-camera processing. If you’re shooting JPG, even though it’s straight-out-of-camera(SOOC) you really are applying some processing to the photo because your camera does it for you by adjusting the tone curve (contrast), white balance and adds some sharpening, while RAW is… well… RAW. This is a RAW file with no editing done except resizing, exporting as a JPG, and adding the watermark. As RAW as it gets. Even so, this particular photo has vibrant colours and a bit of vignetting. That vignetting is probably caused by having two filters on my lens at the same time. I had a UV filter and a circular polarizer (which explains the vibrant colours) on, so I believe that caused a bit of mechanical vignetting.

If you’re brave enough to share your SOOC’s, join us at Slurping Life!
